Chronic Wasting Disease is always a fatal disease that affects the nervous system of deer, elk and moose. The disease is caused by an abnormal protein called a prion.
CWD prions are extremely resistant in the environment and transmission of this disease can occur indirectly through contaminated environments. To learn how you can help to reduce the risk of CWD transmission, visit dnr. Prions concentrate in certain tissues, such as the brain, spinal cord, lymph nodes and spleen, and are present in lower concentrations in other tissues such as muscle.
Prions can also survive cooking temperatures. The U. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that to date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, in the interest of safety, the CDC advises that hunters not consume meat from deer, elk or moose which test positive for CWD. In keeping with this recommendation, the Wisconsin Department of Public Health recommends that venison from deer harvested in CWD-affected areas not be consumed or distributed to others until test results indicate CWD was not detected in the deer.
If you have your deer or elk commercially processed, consider asking that your animal be processed individually to avoid mixing meat from multiple animals. Venison from multiple deer should be kept separate and labeled before freezing. For more information on human prion disease, call the Wisconsin Department of Health Services at For recommendations on the safe handling of deer, visit dnr.
